Governor Hogan: I Wanted To Send In the National Guard Immediately, But Mayor Space-To-Destroy Dragged Her Feet
Asked why he was slow in sending the National Guard-- and can you believe the I Believe Trayvon media is complaining about a too slow law enforcement response?! -- Maryland's Governor Hogan wasn't having it.
Some questioned why it took so long for the Guard to be activated, to which Hogan responded that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was slow to make the request. He said he executed the request 30 seconds after it was made. Rawlings-Blake had initially said she wanted to give to protestors the "space to destroy" their environment. ... "When the mayor called me, which quite frankly we were glad that she finally did, instantly we signed the executive order. We already had our entire team prepared," he said. "We were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time, she finally made that call and we immediately took action."In Katrina, the Democrat Mayor, the Democrat Governor, and the Republican President could all be argued to have some degree of authority for the response to the emergency -- but the Mayor and the Governor had the most, and the President could not act without their asking. Nevertheless, the media decided the President was guilty. In this case, the Mayor is Democratic, the President is Democratic, and the Governor is Republican. Who will the media decide was too slow in reacting this time, I wonder. By the way, I just heard from Limbaugh: You know where Mayor Space-to-Destroy graduated from? Oberlin.
Update: This update was in the last post, but in case you didn't see it, here it is again: It's all Republicans' fault, says Obama.
Obama says "much my agenda” Congress won’t pass includes solutions for urban communities struggling with poverty, crime and fear of police

Again: the cops should just write off certain communities. Announce that they have heard what the people there say, and are submitting to their wishes, then stop answering calls, stop patrolling, stop arresting in that area. "This is what you wanted."

I'm curious (again in the "I don't know" sense of curious) about the procedures for declaring a state of emergency.
Why does the Governor have to wait for the Mayor to say the spiders have hit the fan? Is he not empowered as Governor to say all holy hell is breaking loose in my state and I'm calling up the Guard?

We were angry, just barely alive
By April the 28th, Balto had fell

The night we burnt old Whitey down
And the bells were ringing
The night we burnt old Whitey down

If the Republican Governor moves into the Democratically led city without first being formally asked to come, he gets totally shit on about disrespecting the Mayor.
And the Mayor had it under control, but for political purposes, the Governor tried to make her look bad.....
and shit.
Posted by: VIA, Live from Baltimore at April 28, 2015 01:51 PM (VPLuQ)
I think the head of the local jurisdiction has to ask the governor.
I mean, I'm sure he could go around the mayor, but declaring martial law and putting the national guard and state in charge of a city (essentially putting their elected officials out of power temporarily) is a big f'ing deal... not something to just "oh hey by the way, we did this"

That actually does sound like a plan. The Baltimore PD has plenty of black officers. Send them in with the instructions that if any of those white Commies gets booked with all his teeth, somebody is going to have to answer for it.

Can we do a crowdfunding campaign to help raise funds for him, or for other shopkeepers affected by this? I assume they have insurance but I'm sure the claims will take ages, and yes even after getting the money owed to them reopening will be difficult to impossible for most. But I want to do something. And let them know that it was conservatives that rallied together to help them out.
And not using GoFundMe, for obvs reasons.
Posted by: LizLem at April 28, 2015 01:56 PM (yRwC8)
You're right...there is no excuse for it.
But, there is a reason for it.
The lack of firm law enforcement response to criminal activity emboldened and contributed to the response by thugs.
Appeasement never solves criminal issues.
In other words, the Mayors leadership plan pretty much parallels the Presidents foreign polity.

And the people who were saying DC is next, i wouldn't count on it. Granted, Obama seems to have the worst security people in the world, but there are a lot of police in DC (military, parks, secret service although they've been kind of a joke lately, in addition to regular police) and they used to be rather good at riot prevention and handling large protests. IF anything happens it would be because somebody allowed it to.

Not black culture, thug culture. Black culture has a lot of beautiful and rich facets that have helped make this country what it is. But thug culture, where you revere the code and ugliness of the streets, instead of doing all you can to escape it? Is a small offshoot that has grown to dominate and corrupt the rest of the culture. That is my whitey outsider POV.
Rush played a really great quote by Booker T Washington, prophetically predicting and explaining the current state of black America more eloquently than I ever could. But thug culture has declared him an oreo and a house slave and all the other vitriols they sling, so he is an Unperson.

Oh, sure we have some crazies but they know better than to riot and start burning places down and most of them have jobs anyway.
So step up to where color means nothing but character is everything.

What he did was make eye contact with the police and run away. The police chased him and tackled him to bring him down. Then they put him in a paddy wagon and took him to jail. When he got to jail they found he had a broken neck.
My guess is that they broke his neck when they tackled him. Why did he run? I dunno. Instapundit has a link to a story that he might have had a lock back knife in his pocket like the ones that NYC cops use to pick up easy arrests that make their record look good. Were the cops who tackled him black? I dunno but since the news reports don't repeat that they were white every single time they mention the arrest, I assume so.

Actually it appears that they gave him a rough ride, from what I understand. Sometimes cops will do this, bad ones. They put a bad actor like multiple drug bust scumbag Gray in the back of the patrol unit then drive really rough so the guy in back bounces around like a ping pong ball in a Lottery number machine to soften them up a bit and warn them to not be trouble.
Yes it would be funny in a movie, but in real life you can give people whiplash and worse - in this case, much worse.

Former police chief Ramsey handled the many rallies and riots in DC well. He would meet w/representatives in advance, establish boundaries for the protests and ground rules on what behavior would be tolerated and then as soon as someone broke a boundary the police would take action.

I've lived most of my life since college in "marginal neighborhoods" in cities. Not like bad neighborhoods (those were down the street), but not neighborhoods where you'd leave your first floor windows open and unlocked, either.
These upper middle class white liberals in their 99.999% white suburbs constantly like the lecture the rest of us (who actually interact regularly with people from dozens of different "minority" groups) about our racial relations and how we're racist horrible redneck people.
So maybe riots like this will drill home to the rich limousine liberals exactly what us less wealthy white people have to deal with daily and that maybe we're not as evil and racist as they think. Maybe.
but probably not.

I don't care what happens in Baltimore. If they want to destroy their city, let 'em. I'm not paying to rebuild it. Every broken down urban society that can't manage itself should be left to rot. Baltimore was designed, built, managed, and largely occupied by the Democratic Party. They deserve exactly what they get.
If this causes change, good. If they simply rebuild based on the current ideology, well then this will happen again and again. It never had anything to do with some guy getting killed while in police custody. It never does. The Democratic policies are coming home to roost.

Not gonna lie, I'm really tired of reading his rap sheet like it's some kind of justification for him dying in police custody.
He was a shithead drug dealer. Of course he was. That's not even at issue here.
What IS at issue is why he died in police custody. There are no questions to answer before this one.
Once we know why his neck was broken, we'll be able to either put this to bed or move to indict.

Not going to lie, that was going through my mind last night. Mayor, gov both said they talked directly to Obama.
Police didn't react to what started off as a handful of yutes stealing toilet paper, which emboldened them. City just let it burn. Two police cars burned for hours.
Then all of a sudden the ONLY reaction (which I was a little surprised was being pushed HARDCORE on fox news) was to declare martial law and call out the national guard.
Thought it was all bizarre.

Illustrates != Explains.
Illegitimacy does not cause violence, or thug like behaviors. Many co-morbidities (to steal a medical term) combine with illegitimacy to cause violence and thug like behaviors.
Any one of them is merely an indicator. Not even a symptom.
And many of those co-morbities are cultural (which culture, yes, is reinforced by the illegitimacy rate), which will be slow to change, if they ever do.

>>That definition is also in the dictionary under "SJW"
It's also a pretty good working definition of the Muslim world which helps explain why the left identifies so readily with them. Their ability to blame someone else, usually us, for all their problems removes the burden of responsibility from them.
So apparently we are responsible for the fact that most black kids today are born out of wedlock, the high drop out rates, the high rates of drug and alcohol use ... pretty much everything wrong.

>>Keeping a peaceful rally on the lawn orderly is a damn sight different than handling thousands of people bent on destroying and burning and looting.
Idiots go to Seattle: Burning.
Idiots come to DC: Jail. Ridiculous protest on a college campus because they weren't allowed where they really wanted to go. No Burning.
That was my experience at any rate. Plus I'm pretty sure my dad told me some story about doing riot control in the 60s (?) in DC.
>>Former police chief Ramsey handled the many rallies and riots in DC well. He would meet w/representatives in advance, establish boundaries for the protests and ground rules on what behavior would be tolerated and then as soon as someone broke a boundary the police would take action.
Exactly. They set the rules and then enforce them. They don't play.

schools get federal e-rate funding (big money) based on how many students qualify for "free and reduced price" lunches.
No income verification is done at any point. There was an NJ school district in the news recently who had like 95% of students on free lunches, including children of school employees making 6 figures.

It's all relative.
They don't count welfare toward your income. So you can be making $8,000 a year working part time (to maximize welfare payouts you need to show a tiny amount of income), and have a few bastard kids and "make" another $50,000 a year in welfare benefits, and still be considered dirt poor, well below the poverty level.
Even though you get cash transfers, free food, free housing, free cell phone, free education for your kids (and free food for your kids at the school, freeing up some of your food stamp money for booze), free everything basically.
Just use your EBT cash to pay for cable TV and your shitty terrible credit car loan of $50 a week (no need for insurance or plates or anything), and you're all set.
But according to the US Government, youre in such dire poverty that youre one missed meal away from starving to death.

But that's the problem w/the WH using Sharpton, counciling the locals to give them some space- they've sided with the rioters,not the citizens and their localgovernment.

Not to be a dick, but as a general complaint I find a lot of "authentic" crap from NYC to be just trading on stereotypes and uniformly substandard. Like we've got this Tony's Brooklyn Pizza joint with a mumblemouth palooka on the radio going yo, have da real Brooklyn and its complete shit. They probably ran his ass outta there for being a bad plumber 'cuz he ain't no pizza dude. Anyway, its all over just like that. Hopefully, your Jewish deli guys aren't such cynics.

Baltimore written policy is to have prisoners restrained by seatbelt during transport.
When conditions do not present an undue risk to Officers.
IOW, there are seat belts.
But if the prisoner is thrashing, biting and kicking to the point of endangering Officers, they can toss him in, shut the door, and drive.

By that I mean that most middle class neighborhoods are going to be about 40% Hispanic because of demographics.
No issues unless you get in a situation like we were in in Austin where they pulled the kids from our middle class neighborhood across 2 highways to put them at a school that was almost all apartments and 90% of the kids were ESL.
Our next house was in a neighborhood that had the same demographics as our old neighborhood, but the school was in the newly developed neighborhood and only pulled from that subdivision.
My kids never went to that school, but just looking at the numbers showed anight and day difference.

We have some weird alcohol laws, like you can only buy wine and spirits from a state liquor store, but they've loosened up a lot of the others. Is not as bad as its reputation.

I have 4 names on my birth certificate (3 in my passport) *in addition* to my last name. Adding another one won't work. (In my culture, we have lots of names. I have others, too, just not on any documents and it was weird to have to be limited to just one middle initial when I moved here.)
I guess I feel that way because my mom kept her maiden name after she married my dad, and so I'm used to it. Although she said some guy questioned her about it, and then she asked him whether his grandmother took her husband's name. And he was like, no, she didn't, you're right.
Taking the husband's name (and probably even the whole concept of surnames) is something we adopted from the West.

My sister kept her name; don't see anything wrong with it.
I guess it just felt more like a commitment to the marriage (not that my hubby required me to do it). Kinda like how people cohabitating sometimes say it's no different than marriage, it'sjust a piece of paper. It's not - there's something significant about standing before friends and family (and God) and making the commitment. Again, this was just how it worked for me - just went with what felt right.

So step up to where color means nothing but character is everything.

Or perhaps the Guv is just trying to scapegoat. Sorry, but as someone who spent more than a decade in the National Guard, in the sort of unit that is the VERY FIRST to be called up in case of civil unrest, his excuse stinks.
The Governor has the authority to activate the National Guard, period. He doesn't have to wait for a request from some Mayor.
